I’m an Indiana native now living in Wyoming. Molding the minds of high school & community college students was my profession for 6 years as a history teacher before leaving that career for a life of ministry. I was on staff at a church in West Virginia, before landing with our new family at First Christian Church. Since arriving in Wyoming, I’ve become a Chaplain with local law enforcement, and spend as much time in the mountains hiking, skiing, hunting, and fly fishing as time allows. My beautiful bride, Amber, and I have been married for over 20 years and have two amazing children, Eli & Savannah.

A life centered on God is what I struggle to live everyday and I believe God's Word, his love letter written to us, will continue proving to be all sufficient in all areas of ministry and life at FCC.

I have served at FCC since 2008, and am experiencing great joy in working with adults as we pursue God together. I came to faith in Jesus Christ at age 14 where God began shaping my heart for ministry through a love for His Body, the Church. My husband Kevin and I enjoy life with our sons Corbin and Luke, who often accompany me as we hike, bike, and enjoy the outdoors. I am most content hiking to a secluded place in nature where I can connect with God and read a book. God has called me to the specific task of equipping others for the work of ministry, and has given me a passion for developing our awareness of and hearts for disciple-making. One of my greatest joys is seeing how God makes his presence known in the midst of difficult circumstances. We CAN choose joy!

I came to faith as a young child because of someone who served in the children's ministry at the church I grew up in. What an awesome privilege it is to share Jesus with children and help them build a firm foundation to walk in faith for the rest of their lives! Scott and I grew up together in California and we married in 2006. As a young adult, I went to the School of Worship, where I learned how to live and lead others in a life of Worship. Since then, God has given us three amazing kiddos: Westin, Lance, and Alaura. We moved to Laramie in January 2015 and were amazed how quickly we felt at home.

I was born and raised a Disciple having served God in multiple DOC churches along the front range. As a single mother of two girls, we moved to Laramie in 1990 to finish my degree in Education at the University of Wyoming. I have had many careers in my lifetime including; 17 + years with Sears, 17+ years with Laramie County Community College and 6 years with the Geological Survey as well as other part-time jobs along the way. I retired from full time work in 2012 to help with my grandchildren when my youngest grandson Avery was born with a congenital heart defect. I am Nana to three boys Aiden – 15, Gavin - 11 and Avery – 5. I came to work as the secretary of the church to fill some time and found this is where God was leading me. I love my “job” working alongside others who love and serve the Lord.

I joined the staff in April 2014 as bookkeeper and also serve as the nursery co-ordinator. I came to Laramie for college in 2007, where I completed a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Business and went on to finish up a Master's in Agriculture with an emphasis in Youth Development/Community Development in Extension. When not busy serving at church, I can be found working one of my many other jobs or volunteering with Special Olympics - Laramie, or baking sugar cookies. I live with my sister, Meghan Mae and have two fur babies, Henderson, the crazy cat and Sydney, the old lady mini Australian shepherd. I have attended a great variety of churches over the course of my life - growing up on ranches and in rural communities - whatever church was available was the one we attended.

I was born and raised in Bakersfield, California and came to Wyoming in 2013 to wrestle and go to college at UW. I married my beautiful wife, Megan, in May of 2015. Megan and I love spending time in the mountains fishing, hiking, and scouting for wildlife. We were both raised in church and came to a saving faith in Jesus at a very young age, but God continues to amaze us with his grace and mercy even in our sin. My high school youth group is where God really revealed how much of a sinner I was and how much I didn't deserve any of his love. Despite what I deserved, he loved me anyways. I pray that God uses me to impact the lives of high school students in Laramie for His glory.

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
